Chapter 1045 - 1009: Face Scan
"The data I want?"Chen Qiuhua murmured a sentence to himself, immediately understanding the situation, and said eagerly, "Are you saying this portable hard drive contains digitized human data?"
Song Zexing nodded and said, "I checked them one by one, and my initial judgment is that the data on the hard drive should be all of this."
Chen Qiuhua stared intensely at the few portable hard drives, suddenly thinking of a question, and asked in a lowered voice, "Song Zexing, is this obtained by the department behind you?"
Song Zexing was taken aback and asked with some confusion, "Expert Chen, these portable hard drives were all given to me by you."
Chen Qiuhua immediately realized the question should not be directed at him.
After contemplating for a moment, he said solemnly, "Song Zexing, the data on these hard drives is very important, extremely important, and of great value, immense value."
"Handle them carefully and ensure confidentiality, don't let anyone know."
Song Zexing nodded and said, "Understood!"
"Expert Chen, what do you want me to do next?"
Chen Qiuhua paced the office several times, saying, "For now, first confirm whether there's any virus, trap, or anything of that nature within the data."
"Then, make two copies."
"After that, destroy the original hard drive completely, leave no trace at all."
Song Zexing nodded once more, indicating his understanding.
"Then, then organize things well, I need a list, I need to know exactly what data is contained within."
Once again, Chen Qiuhua urged, "Also, keep it confidential!"
Song Zexing replied, "Expert Chen, confidentiality is part of my regular work."
"I'll take this work home and use remote access to the medium-sized computer at the hospital to perform a thorough check and analysis of the hard drive data..."
After seeing Song Zexing off, a very excited Chen Qiuhua immediately called Water Buffalo.
After routing and a short wait, Water Buffalo's voice came from the phone, "Expert Chen, this time, what is it that requires assistance from my side?"
Feeling jubilant, Chen Qiuhua laughed and said, "This time, it's not a request for help, but an expression of gratitude."
"I've received the portable hard drive, and I really like the data inside, very much."
"Thank you!"
"What portable hard drive? What data?"
Hearing this, Chen Qiuhua asked in confusion, "This wasn't done by your side?"
"Expert Chen, what exactly is the matter? Please explain in detail!"
Right then, Chen Qiuhua recounted the ten large-capacity portable hard drives he received yesterday and told about Song Zexing's guesses regarding the data within.
After waiting for about a minute, Water Buffalo's voice sounded again through the phone, "Expert Chen, I've just confirmed, this matter is unrelated to us."
"If this data belongs to commercial and medical domains, it does not fall under our area of business."
Following this, Chen Qiuhua asked, "Who sent the hard drives to me, can you check?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end before Water Buffalo's voice came again, "Expert Chen, think about the patients you have, and remember you've mentioned before that this data plays an important role in treating those patients."
"Perhaps they took action, it's possible. They also have their own special service department."
Chen Qiuhua understood that Water Buffalo was referring to the military.
Listening to him, Chen Qiuhua also felt that the military could likely be involved.
"Expert Chen, since these portable hard drives were anonymously delivered to you, it means the sender did not want to reveal their identity. In that case, it's better not to pursue the matter further."
"We are monitoring your safety."
"We will closely track this issue, and if any negative signs appear, we will not ignore them..."
Chen Qiuhua thought it over.
If the data in the hard drives is indeed as Song Zexing mentioned, then he is the beneficiary.
As for who sends them, whether Water Buffalo or the military, it's essentially irrelevant.
After all, behind them is the country.
Chen Qiuhua obtained this data to serve a broad range of domestic patients.
Before hanging up, Chen Qiuhua hurriedly inquired, "Oh, Water Buffalo, there's another issue about Song Zexing's compensation!"
"Oh, about this matter..."
"We will compensate Song Zexing in other ways, such as solving his housing problem in Binhai, taking care of his living needs, and so forth."
"Determine his salary based on his technical skills, the position he entered, and your own salary grading standards..."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Qiuhua forced himself to calm down.
He pondered over the matter a few times in his mind and decided to heed Water Buffalo's advice and not pursue the issue any further.
Anyway, the benefits had been received, there's no need to create complications...
"Uncle..."
In the afternoon, seeing Yao Henan coming in with a crutch, Chen Qiuhua smiled and said, "Finished your physical therapy today?"
"Yes, I also went to Dr. Lei to adjust the exoskeleton support frame!"
With a flushed little face, Yao Henan excitedly said, "Now my legs can independently support eighty percent of my body weight."
"Dr. Lei said in about three weeks, I can remove this exoskeleton."
Chen Qiuhua praised, "Your recovery pace is commendable, thanks to your perseverance and hard work."
Helping Yao Henan to sit down, he asked, "Where's Xiaoxiao, why didn't she come with you?"
"I met a friend, so I came over by myself first."
Yao Henan asked again, "Uncle, I just learned from Bennett that Annabelle and the people she hired have all returned to the United States?"
Lin Jie said, "They left on today's flight, sorry I forgot to tell you about it."
"Have you improved your language skills during this time of interaction with them?"
Since Zhang Xiaoxiao and Yao Henan needed practice with their speaking skills, Lin Jie arranged for Annabelle's group to casually chat with Yao Henan whenever she came for therapy at the hospital.
Lin Jie's arrangement included occasionally treating them to Chinese delicacies.
Yao Henan chuckled, "I feel I've improved quite a bit; at least I'm not afraid to speak up when I meet Americans."
She added with concern, "But with them gone, Bennett is all alone! He doesn't speak Chinese and is by himself, it must be lonely."
Lin Jie said with a smile, "The nurse taking care of him also speaks English."
"You can chat with him more often and teach him some of our daily conversations."
Yao Henan nodded lightly, "I will."
"Uncle, I learned from Bennett that living at the bottom of society in the United States is very tough; going hungry and cold is common."
"The main issue is the poor living conditions, with widespread violence and drugs, and personal safety being compromised."
Through Shen Lanruo's talks, Lin Jie had some insights into life in the United States.
He reassured, "The United States has some aspects of a binary society."
"The areas where wealthy people live are very nice, with good social order, but the poorer areas and some African American and Latino communities have more violence."
"The area you study in Los Angeles has a good environment and order, so you don't need to worry too much."
Yao Henan laughed, "I know you have arranged everything for me, so I'm not worried."
"Besides, Bi Xiyan even promised she would protect me."
Bi Xiyan is Bi Baodong's sister.
After deciding to go to the United States to study together, the two added each other on WeChat to get to know each other first.
So far, they seem to be getting along quite well.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoxiao walked into the office and explained, "I ran into a client I met when working as a real estate agent before, and we chatted for a bit."
"Ah Jie, at the gathering you're attending tonight, you mentioned there would be several mortgaged properties for sale. If you find any suitable, around fifteen million or less for shops, purchase them for me."
"Owning shops and earning rental income is better than just leaving money in the bank for interest."
Lin Jie nodded, "Sure, I'll keep an eye out."
"And if the guy I mentioned to you before really comes to Binhai to open a gold shop, we can rent it to him."
"Xiaoxiao, are you going to Qushui Garden tomorrow? I heard it's beautiful there."
Zhang Xiaoxiao shook her head, "There's only a month left until I go abroad, I won't join in the fun."
"Tomorrow I'll visit my father, you guys take Nannan out for a stroll…"
At five thirty in the evening, Lin Jie and Qin Gang arrived at the parking lot downstairs, and saw Chen Lili waiting by the Phaeton, wearing a knee-length black cocktail dress with a small coat draped over her shoulders, hugging herself along with Lu Kaicheng.
Lin Jie looked at the elegantly made-up Chen Lili who seemed a bit shivery, and joked, "You're stunningly cold!"
Chen Lili huffed, "Quickly open the car door! I've caught a cold and will wipe my snot on you…"
In the car, Chen Lili asked, "Are we picking up Kexin next?"
"She's not attending the gathering."
Lin Jie explained, "New graduates will be arriving in Binhai the day after tomorrow to participate in a training hosted by Anlin Hospital, so Kexin is quite busy and can't get away."
Chen Lili exclaimed in understanding, then asked, "Lin Jie, do you have any plans to purchase anything at this gathering?"
Lin Jie replied casually, "We'll see! But Kexin is preparing a new investment project, so I basically don't have much spare money…"
After over half an hour's drive, they arrived at the Four Seas Building.
This is a 54-story, nearly 200-meter tall building, the headquarters of Four Seas Bank.
Lin Jie, Lu Kaicheng, and Chen Lili walked into the lobby on the first floor of the Four Seas Building and saw Chen Qiuhua waiting there, along with two young men accompanied by glamorous women, arguing with several bank-uniformed staff at the entrance.
Lin Jie gestured toward the arguing group nearby and asked Chen Qiuhua, "What's going on?"
"They didn't bring an invitation and got stopped."
After explaining, Chen Qiuhua noticed Lin Jie's face change slightly and couldn't help but ask, "Lin Jie, you didn't forget your invitation too, did you?"
Lin Jie smiled sheepishly, "There's an electronic invitation, but it's registered under my assistant's phone number."
"I'll call Jian Jia to forward it to me…"
He took out his phone, only to hear a clear voice prominently state, "Young Master Qin, I'll reiterate once more, either a guest with an invitation personally escorts you upstairs, or you show an electronic invitation."
"And forwarded ones don't count…"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jie put down his phone and awkwardly said to Chen Qiuhua and Lu Kaicheng, "Let's try going over first, if it doesn't work, I'll have Jian Jia come over."
Chen Qiuhua, Lu Kaicheng, and Chen Lili were speechless.
But given the situation, they could only follow Lin Jie to the entrance.
However, to Chen Lili's surprise, not only were they not stopped, but a fashionable woman with a model-like figure in a work uniform enthusiastically led them to the elevator.
"Why don't they…"
"Why aren't their invitations being checked?"
The clear, confident voice once again reached Chen Qiuhua and the others' ears, "If you can be as renowned, have status, and look as handsome as Expert Lin, you can enter any place with such thresholds, simply with your face."
